Mr.. J. M. Carver of Madison, a
prominent man in his county favor

Tobacco sales are scattering the
cash among our farmers now. We
would again suggest to all the i'm
portance of depositing their cash in
the banks for safety. 1t will be
better for all concerned.
Five burglars and incendiaries
who are believed to be the same
who some time ago nearly cons
pleteIy destroyed the town of Tomp-
kinsville, Ky, have been arrested
in Knoxville; and will be held to
trial if their identity is established,
which seems certainty.
Mr.. A. McCombs, of Asheville, a
practical millwright and civil en-
gineer, invites work from the people
of W. N. C. He has certificates un-
der seal, of gentlemen in various
sections testifying to mis- excellent
capacity in ali respects. All parties
desiring such work can consult Mr..
McCombs, and obtain full estimates

The Knoxville Journal says a fire
occurred on the 18th on the beauti-
full Island Home farm of Col. Dick
enson, place always reso.ted to by
visitors to Knoxville The house
and principal barns were saved, but
a shed building containing IS tons
of hay and other forage was con-
sumed. The loss of so much feed
will compel the sale of some of the
cattle on the farm.
See the important notice Of the
Ashevills Ice and Coal Company !;
and don't conclude that it blows
hot and cold all in the salns breath,
but ftly addresses itself to the needs
of the seasons. Now it has cold
weather in mind, and offers all sorts
of the best coal in the market, and
all the warmth and splendor that
can be gotten out of the 'black din-
mands," ;" can be secured by leaving
your orders for the Ice and Coal
Company.
We have frequently impressed
upon our readers the value OF our
columns a. an advertising medium,
so sure and certain that it seldom
fails to bring about what is wanted.
1t even anticipates as we have had
frequent illustrations and the very
fact that it becomes known that \
loss sustained was to be advertised
in the CITIZEN has insured prompt
recovery. We had an example
Tuesday afternoon. A farmer from
Madison had an OK to escape or be
removed from one of the Ware
houses last Thursday night. In
vain he searched, in vain he enquired
He came to tho CITIZEN office Mon
day afternoon, as a last resort, to
advertise the lost animal. He had
made known his purpose to do so.
A notice was written with full de-
scription &c, and banded over to
the compositor.
Our friend left us, but retarnened
in about an hour with beaming
face. The lost was found. 1t was
back ii the stall in the Warehouse,
and the owner with implicit faith
to the belief that the advertisement,
though never made public, did the
business.
